Image of <i>Dichomeris ventrella</i>

Description:

The dull brown, slightly mottled ground color of the FW with a particular arrangement of the small paired black/white dots in the middle seem to be characteristic of this species: http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=2287 With a FW ~10.5mm, this is a rather large Gelechiid. I'll have to go back through my unid. pile and see if I'd overlooked this one previously. A caveat: There are several species of Dichomeris occurring in CenTex which lack illustrations on MPG.
